Haylea's Eye

On our first real Saturday of being here we decide to venture to Idaho Falls and look for a washer and dryer.  We sold ours because we didn't want to haul them half way across the country.  We thought we would be able to buy used ones here in Rexburg.  There is no used appliance store anywhere.  We also had to take an elders parents a box he wanted to send home.  It is fun to meet elders parents. 
Anyway, back on track.  Haylea's eye was red and watering.  The first thing I thought of was pink eye.  I figured while we were there I would take her to an Urgent care.  A lady we were sitting by recommended a  Ready Care not far from where we were.  So James dropped Haylea and I off and took the others to Sears.  About a half an hour later we are done with the diagonsis of an infection in her eye.  We get our prescription and off to Wal-Mart to have it filled.  
Haylea and Carl stay home from church because of this infected eye and us not wanting to get anyone else infected.
On Tuesday her eye is still not better.  So I take her to the Urgent Care here in Rexburg.  Within a few minutes he says that Haylea has a small piece of metal in her eye.  He calls the eye doctor and within 30 minutes of being at the Urgent Care we are at the eye doctor around the corner. 
The eye doctor was great.  He numbed her eye and pulled the small piece of metal out.  He put a contact in to act like a band-aide and sent us on our way with another prescription.  He told us to come back the next day and a different doctor would take it out and look at it. 
The second doctor said that she would have a little scar that is not visible to the eye but could be seen with their microscopes. 
Within a few days she was much better.  She never complained a bit about this bothering her.  When the doctor numbed her eye she didn't flinch.  What a trooper she is. 

Side note: I will post about Adalyn's birthday next. I am out of order because I don't have time to sit and download pictures.  The bishop is coming to visit and I have to get home and make dinner.

IDAHO

We have been in Idaho now for a little over 2 weeks.  We arrived on the 10 of August about 9:00 p.m.  I have to say I love Idaho.  I love that you can go places and there are families everywhere.  There are babies and pregnant women everywhere.  I told my OB doctor yesterday this must be a great town for his profession.  We have done some fun things while we are here.  I will try and post some of them and pictures. 
The children are doing great.  Isaiah made a friend up our road the day after we got here.  We have 4 families that live on our road with children Haylea, Isaiah, and Adalyn's age.  James and Carl's friends live a few blocks away. 
Our ward consists of about 450 people in about a 3 block radius.  Last Sunday I counted 60 women in Relief Society.  That is almost more than the Parsons Branch.  There are 2 Sunday School classes that teach the same lesson.  There are 12 deacons.  The boys have already been on a camp out and froze through the night. The next day they went down the Snake River in canoes.  I am grateful for this experience for them because I believe it gave them a great bonding experience with the other boys their age. 
I will post pics of some of the things that we have done.
